Pigs and buffets
- Thread starter AMonger
- Start date
What if the cook putting together the salad dressing accidentally drooled into the dressing before it was wheeled out to the buffet? I mean; you can't control everything! Sometimes you gotta have a little bit of faith in the ole immune system when you are sharing food with thousands of other people. Just be glad we don't live in, Saudi Arabia where everyone scoops up food with their fingers from the same plate. lol!
You know buffets are just breeding grounds for whatever doesn't ail you right now, will within 8 hours. But, eating off the menu carries it's own risks too. In fact all food even the stuff you buy in the store is risky.. toss the dice, sit back take a deep breath, hold yer breath, and plunge your utensils in!

If it doesn't kill ya right ? ....
But then on the other hand, they would never think of offering you their left hand in friendship, to shake (to do so is considered highly insulting) .... since it's the one they use to wipe themselves .....
Think about that one real hard next time ya shake hands with someone .....

Sitting in the front lot at the Bordentown Petro last night we were able to watch the rats playing. Whatever had been thrown in the dumpster must have been pretty appetizing because when we shined the light over there, the ground moved. Saw at least a dozen of them at one point.

The same with the Atlanta Petro, 10 years aog I witnessed the same thing, them coming out of the storm sewer drain making a dash for the dumpster.It was told to me by the locals that that truckstop is built on a old landfill...Not for sure, though.
It's nearly impossible to permanently eliminate rats around a dumpster, you just have to keep the numbers down out there and prevent them from getting inside. We had an outside rat problem at one restaurant I worked at. Traps and poison worked to a degree, but still didn't to the trick. Finally, someone (and I refuse to stay who by way of the Fifth Amendment and out of fear of PETA) placed a pan with a mixture of flour and Nesquik out back by the door, and placed a pan of water right next to it. The next night the same thing happened. Again on the third night, same thing. Then, on the 4th night, the flour and Nesquik mixture was cut about 50/50 with Quikrete dry cement.
Next night, no more rats. Not for many nights.

Sounds like a recipe for Flying J food.
